The MMO market has recently dipped into something of a lull, and for the first time in years, there isn’t a super-duper-mega-blockbuster MMO looming on the development horizon. That’s not to say the genre is stagnating – the truth is quite the opposite, with more unique and exciting MMOs in the pipeline than ever. The difference is, that, in the wake of high-profile underwhelming launches like The Old Republic and The Elder Scrolls Online, the huge budget, iconic franchise games are nowhere to be seen among their numbers. While my colleagues around the web would like to attribute this to a sensible impetus, like market risk assessment, I’d like to talk about something more fun – craft beer.
